True. Plus, I believe you intend to be running this on mostly level ground all the time, anyway, right? (Racing.)

I went to the bottom of the trail today, to volunteer with the food bank, and on the way up, there were a few times when I was leaned as far forward over the seering wheel as I could get... and it still felt like it was going to tip over backwards.

So I guess I tend to look at these things as if everything was a steep hill. LOL
yea, mostly for flattish trails and such, im inbetween the mountains and the coast, where there are a few good hills, but mostly flat lol
although, there are some killer hills on some of the trails, but if i flip, thats what the rollcage is for cheers

Shocked Shocked Shocked Wow!! Looks awesome so long on those huge tires.. hill climbing should be way better! Cant wait to see the cage. Motor looks great at that fire wall, can you flip the exhaust backwards?

ive already decided to lift the rear 4", it needs 2" to sit level, and i want it to lean forward, so ima do 4", the lift will also let me move the axle further back where im infront of the axle,
the exhaust will flip on one side and do fine, on the other it hits the oil filter, so im going to have to cut them down and weld em back together,
so, drivetrain will wait till after next week so i have the tubes for the fronts, which will let me get the rear lift exactly how i want, but with me doing the lift like i am, it frees me up to do suspension in the future, and yea, with them big tires it does look huge lol

YES!!!!

I can't wait to see the change.

And let me know how it changes the ride. I am betting it is for the better.
